    Looks like what I have been looking for !

    Any progress on the gerber files ? ( so I can order pcb's )

    I was looking through the list of materials, but getting confusion while looking on Aliexpress, is it possible to share the links to the parts on Aliexpress/eBay ?

    Thanks !

      @Slorf Sorry for delay. I've uploaded gerber files (100% correct - first batch was produced according to them).
      I ordered 0402 components in these shops:

                @Slorf OK. Use non-polarized (ceramic) capacitor 0805 4.7uF and polarized 10uf (yellow 3216) capacitor. I've changed bom.
                I've uploaded assembly pdf too :).

                    Resistor 1M ( which package size ) - unnecessary element (R1 can be mounted for backward compatibility with nRF24L01, nevermind)

                        Hi,

                        When I try and order the pcb's from dirtypcb I get the following error:

                        PCB #17568: No board outline (.GML/.GKO/.GBR) file found.

                        I made a zip file with cam.drl, main.gbl, main.gbo, main.gbs, main.gtl, main.gto, main.gts
                        when I try to upload this on dirtypcb I get the error message that there is no board outline.

                        regards

                          @Slorf It's openhardware.io engine problem. Engine had removed some files from my zip. Use files from this complete archive (gm2 - mechanical layer, rename it if its nessesary).

                            .gm2 was a new extension I didn't know about.
                            I've updated the file extraction engine. When you get a chance, please try uploading it again.

                              Thanks for quick fix :)
                              gm2 = gerber mechanic layer2. So there are many variations of file extensions. I think it would be perfect to add ability to attach a file with custom extension or raw zip\rar without extraction.

                                I renamed the gm2 file to gml ( see: http://jrainimo.com/build/?p=642 ), and was able to order it from dirtypcb.

                                  @Slorf One detail.... If it is not so late - please change your order (sorry...). Board thikness must be 1.6mm (antenna tunned for this value). I've changed board description.

                                    I mailed the people at dirtypcb, hopefully they can change it for me.

                                    If they cannot change it, would it be possible to get rid of the antenna and mount a pa/lna antenna ?

                                    Regards

                                      I mailed the people at dirtypcb, hopefully they can change it for me.

                                      If they cannot change it, would it be possible to get rid of the antenna and mount a pa/lna antenna ?

                                      Regards

                                      @Slorf Do not worry. Antenna will work with any board thikness, but with 1.6mm (with current geomerty configuration) it will be optimal. Almost all china nrf modules (I've seen) have non optimal antenna geometry.
                                      PS
                                      I'am sorry :( I hope dirtypcb will change you order.

                                      It is possible, but its very non technologically...

                                        Great board.
                                        Did you test the performance ? Like number of recieved packets per second ?

                                          Let's hope the change it :-)

                                          Would it be possible to mount something like this on the pcb ?
